042: Azul Terronez on how to write a book and untrain your editor brain

Hey hey, welcome to the Human Connection podcast, I’m your host Brittney Lynn and today’s interview is with book whisperer Azul Terronez of Authors Who Lead.

Azul helps leaders write and publish books that people love so they can create their brand, grow their audience, and increase their influence.

Azul’s TEDx talk “What Makes a Good Teacher Great” has been viewed over 1.6 million times. Azul’s clients have included Wall Street Bestseller, Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive Income Podcast, Jadah Sellner co-founder Simple Green Smoothies and Dana Malstaff the founder of Boss-mom.

Guys...I never thought I would ever entertain writing a book (I actually share a story about this at the top of the episode and a conversation I had with Azul when we first met) but….there might be something there. Who knows! Maybe your girl will become an author one day.
